Andrew and Epstein Questions Invade Buckingham Palace as New Investigation Widens

0:03 Calarougus Shark Media. Hello, and welcome to Palace Intrigue. I am your host, Mark Francis. Anti monarchy activists have taken their campaign over Andrew Mountbatten Windsor and Jeffrey Epstein directly inside Buckingham Palace. Two members of the campaign group Republic entered the Palace's throne room on Monday and unfurled a large banner showing Andrew alongside the convicted sex offender. Across the image were four words what did you know? Republic says the stunt was designed to force renewed scrutiny of what senior members of the royal family may have known about Andrew's relationship with Epstein. The group has repeatedly demanded greater transparency from the Palace and is now pursuing the possibility of private prosecution against Andrew. Republic chief executive Graham Smith said this question isn't going away. It is simply not believable to think that Charles and William weren't brief years ago about the numerous allegations against Andrew. Security services, police and government would have had concerns about Andrew's behavior and would have briefed the Palace, not least because of the potential threat to national security and the risk of blackmail.

1:14 A new criminal investigation into Jeffrey Epstein's secretive New Mexico ranch is putting fresh scrutiny on Andrew and his communications with Epstein and Glain Maxwell. According to The Daily Mirror, New Mexico prosecutors have ordered more than two dozen major companies to preserve records connected to Epstein's Zorro ranch and the people who visited the property. The companies reportedly include Google, WhatsApp, and Yahoo, as well as American Express and Expedia. The preservation demands could include messages exchange between Andrew, Epstein, and Maxwell. A source familiar with the investigation told The Mirror Andrew is recorded to have visited the ranch a number of times, and former Zorro staff have already been questioned about what they remember of his time there, who he was with, and how he moved around the property. No one is saying every person who went to Zorro committed a crime, but investigators on the fullest possible account of what happened to the ranch and who knew what. The eight thousand acre ranch outside Santa Fe has been linked to allegations from at least ten women and girls who say they were groomed or abused. The Mirror's source said any message Mount batten Windsor sent to Epstein or Maxwell in connection with Zorrow cannot now be destroyed. Despite Epstein being dead and Maxwell locked up. It is not enough for their exchanges not to come back to haunt mountbatten Windsor separately.

2:31 The police investigation surrounding Andrew appears to be widening, with British investigators reportedly preparing to travel to the United States to speak with members of Virginia Geoffrey's family. According to The Times, investigators from Thames Valley Police are expected to meet with Geoffrey's brother Sky Roberts and his wife Amanda. The conversation is being described as informal because the couple are not believed to have been direct witnesses. However, Geoffrey's family reportedly believes police have been very proactive in their investigation. Andrew has faced long standing allegations that he had sex with Geoffrey on three occasions, beginning when she was seventeen. He has repeatedly denied wrongdoing and has never been criminally charged over those allegations. Andrew has reportedly made a secret appearance at the Sandringham Driving Challenge, quietly watching his sister in law Sophie compete, before slipping away without being seen publicly with the Royals. According to the son, Andrew watched from a secluded area of the main arena as Sophie took part in the driving competition. One onlooker said Andrew sneaked in and sneaked out and definitely didn't want to be seen. I saw Andrew leave the field at ten thirty am, just after Sophie had ridden her round. Then I saw Edward walking towards his car smiling shortly afterwards.

3:42 The sighting comes after reports that Prince Edward and Sophie visited Andrew at Marsh Farm in April for what was described as a brotherly welfare check. Publicly, Andrew remains largely isolated from the Royal family. Reports continue to suggest Andrew has not entirely accepted his new status. One recent claim suggested Andrew has vowed to damn will continue using his former titles privately until they send a vampire to suck out every drop of Royal blood from my veins. Andrew is also reportedly unhappy with life at the five bedroom marsh Farm after leaving the thirty room Royal Lodge. One insider said he really didn't want marsh Farm. He won't have lived anywhere that small since he left his apartment at Buckingham Palace. Has Princess Beatrice finally chosen a side in the royal family's view? That is the theory being floated after Beatrice was reportedly spotted socializing with one of Prince Harry and Meghan Marko's most outspoken critics, Piers Morgan.

4:34 Charlotte Griffith's editor at large of The Mail on Sunday, discussed the sighting on the True Royalty podcast after Beatrice and her husband Eduardo Mapelli Mozzi were seen at a gathering in Saint pe Griffith said, I would have thought she'd be lying low, but instead she's gone to this incredibly fashionable restaurant and mingled with actually some medium rent celebrities like Kelly Brooke. I thought that was very telling because of course Piers Morgan is a cousin Prince Hary's absolute nemesis, so any friendship she has with Prince Harry is effectively over from this moment. Morgan, meanwhile, could hardly be described as neutral when it comes to the Sussexes. He is previously called Megan a grasping, selfish, scheming, car dashing and wannabe and a narcissistic whiney brat more palacy just a moment. Ex wife Sarah has largely disappeared from public view, with one extraordinary report describing her as being on a secret sofa surfing world tour, staying with wealthy friends who reportedly prefer to keep their connection to the former duchess private. In The Express, Chris Richards writes, this time last year, Sarah Ferguson was at Wimbled and sat in the Royal Box at the invitation of King Charles, and what a lot has changed in twelve months. On June thirtieth, twenty twenty five, the then sixty five year old Fergie attended the first day of the Wimbledon Championships with her eldest daughter, Princess Beatrice's. They took a prime seat in the Royal Box. In fact, it would be easier for Sarah Ferguson to ascend Mount Everest than it would be for her to get a VIP escort up and over Henman's Hill. According to The Mail on Sunday, Sarah had been discussing a televised road trip with comedian

6:04 Alan Carr, with the pair potentially traveling the world in search of unusual and extraordinary locations. The idea had reportedly been in development since twenty twenty three, and earlier this year, Sarah invited Cars to lunch at Royal Lodge to talk about the project. Friends say the two get on like a house on fire. A source said Sarah had Alan over for lunch before she left Royal Lodge and so they can make a great partnership for Telly flying around the world together. After lunch with Sarah, Carr was apparently taken into a drawing room where Andrew was sitting on a sofa watching television. A source explained after lunch, he was ushered into a drawing room to meet Andrew, who had been watching TV on a sofa. He seemed highly to raise an eyebrow that Alan was there, but Alan's eyes were on stalks. A source toll of the Mail on Sunday. Alan went to Royal Lodge that day out of curiosity to see the house, though he also wanted to do a deal. It's lucky he didn't take it further, because shortly after the meeting the Yorks were once again in disgrace. We don't know what Allan makes of the Epstein saga, and with Sarah in high adding, the whole idea has to run into the sand. Carr has reportedly had no contact with either Sarah or Andrews since the latest allegations emerged. There is news from Princess Margaret's family.

7:11 Lady Sarah Chatto's son, Samuel Chattow, has officially announced his engagement to his long term girlfriend Eleanor Eskadigion. The couple, both twenty nine I said to marry next spring, with King Charles understood to have been informed of the happy news and said to be delighted for the pair. Lady Sarah Chatto is Princess Margaret's daughter. She was Queen Elizabeth the Second's niece and is King charles first cousin. In newly shared photos, Eleanor reveals her gorgeous porcelain engagement ring made by sam alongside his second snapshot of the pair looking over joyed, and they have it.
